I’m a bit late on this as I’ve been away, but Panasonic have announced a stereoscopic micro 4/3′s lens for their camera range as well as a consumer S3D camcorder (well it’s actually a 2D camcorder with a conversion lens). The Panasonic 3D lens incorporates 2 lenses and is designed to work with the Lumix [...]
Just a quick note to say that there’s still a couple of places left for my 3D workshop in Prague on the 27th of June (Tuesday). Contact O-Video if you wish to book a spot. They are normally very popular and everyone seems to find them useful and informative. I cover the basics of S3D [...]
My 3D rig now has a name, we are calling it the Hurricane rig. It needed a name so that when talking to the design team and factory they know what we are talking about. I have a deal worked out with a well known, high quality brand for production and distribution of the rig [...]
Hello all, I’m having a great time meeting all the blog readers and forum contributors from south East Asia. I’m in Singapore at Broadcast Asia doing some short seminars on XDCAM sensors and media as well as stereoscopic production. i spend most of my time hanging out around the 3D area of the Sony Booth, [...]
I’ve had this monitor for a couple of months now and I have to say it has proven to be an amazing tool. While it can provide a 3D view using shutter glasses, it is at it’s most useful when used in Anaglyph mode. I don’t wear the glasses to view in 3D a lot [...]
I’m running a free half day workshop to introduce the basic principles of 3D stereoscopic production in Zurich on the 27th of May. Further details can be found by clicking here.
Due to the overwhelming demand for places on the 19th of May, a second date has been added on the 9th of June, this second date at Visual Impact in Teddington is a third full already so don’t delay if you want a place! We have 19 that have registered an interest in the 15 [...]
I have just finished putting together a new beam splitter 3D rig. This new rig replaces an older one that was less flexible and harder to set up. It is designed to work with an EX1 and EX3 or a pair of EX3. It could also be used with any other cameras of a similar [...]

I came across an interesting article on the importance of having the correct camera orientation when using CMOS cameras for Stereoscopic production with a beam splitter. The problem is that if you don’t get the orientation right, when you pan, one camera while exhibit skew going in one direction while the other camera will exhibit [...]
Sky TV have released their tech specs for 3D stereoscopic production. No big surprises perhaps except for the minimum bit rate of 100Mb/s per channel, so this rules out even native XDCAM HD422. Looks like a pair of EX’s with the Nano3D ticks all the boxes though. Click here for the full details. There are [...]
